Objectives This study aimed to determine the predictors of health-promoting behaviour among older adults with hypertension in Bengkulu City, Bengkulu, Indonesia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 333 older adults with hypertension, who were selected using multistage sampling method. Data were obtained by face-to-face interview with structured questionnaires. The questionnaires used in this study included the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), Hypertension Knowledge-Level Scale (HK-LS), Self-Rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale (SRAHP), Barriers to Health-promoting Behaviour Scales (BAS), Benefits to Health-Promoting Behaviour Scales (BES), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and Situational Influences Questionnaire (SIQ). Data were analysed by using multiple linear regressions. Results The mean and standard deviation (Mean ± SD) of each questionnaire were as follows: HPLP II, 2.55 ± 0.19; HK-LS, 11.83 ± 3.00; SRAHP, 2.00 ± 5.87; BAS, 27.89 ± 2.70; BES, 34.29 ± 2.29; MSPSS, 60.35 ± 8.12; and SIQ, 47.71 ± 6.66. According to the multiple linear regression model, 36.9% of the variation in health-promoting behaviour among older adults with hypertension can be explained by six variables, namely, education, knowledge, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, social support and situational influences (adjusted R 2 = 0.369). Conclusions High and good-quality education will increase the level of health-promoting behaviour, whereas barriers, such as expense and time requirement, can decrease it. Situational influences and support from family and friends can also influence the older adult's attempts to change their health behaviour. Increased self-efficacy will clearly result in improved health-promoting behaviour of older adults with hypertension.

Background: An earthquake is a natural calamity that cannot be avoided, occurs unexpectedly, and cannot be correctly estimated at its epicenter. Earthquakes can be predicted in the range of times that allow them to occur, but not their exact moment of occurrence or strength. Counseling is carried out to prepare the community to be able to deal with earthquake disasters when they occur. Purpose: To improve community preparation in the event of an earthquake disaster. Methods: Community service activities include employing leaflet media to provide earthquake catastrophe advice. People residing in earthquake-prone areas, such as Malabero Village and Bengkulu City, were targeted for the exercise. Results: Before and after receiving earthquake disaster preparedness counseling, there is an improvement in community understanding. Conclusion: By delivering health education using leaflets as a medium for health promotion, the public's understanding of readiness in coping with seismic disasters can be increased.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that requires specific self-management behavior for a lifetime, to avoid long-term diabetic complication. Education about diabetes self-management for people with diabetes mellitus and families is absolutely necessary to overcome diabetic complications. The use of smartphones as educational media provides space for people with DM without restrictions on place and time.Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the effect of health education through the Salam-Sehat application media on diabetes self-management behavior.Method: This research is quantitative with pre-experiment design with one group pre-test post-test. The population of this study was all people with DM in Bengkulu City. Sample was selected by using Multi Stages Cluster Sampling technique. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula which results are 384 respondents. The sample was selected by using proportional random sampling. The Data were analysed by using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.Result: The results showed that the average DM self-management behavior before being given education through the salam-sehat application was 35.42 and the average DM self-management behavior after being given education through the salam-healthy application was 65.18. There is significant influence of health education through Salam-Sehat application media for self-management behavior among diabetes mellitus people in Bengkulu City, with Asymp value. Sig (p) = 0,000.Conclusion: It is expected that the research results of the Salam-Sehat application can be used as an online-based health education media that provides convenience in obtaining health information without being limited by space and time for people with DM in Bengkulu City.Keywords: Diabetes Melitus, Manajemen Diri, Aplikasi

Maternal mortality (MM) remains a problem in the world as 380 mothers die from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth worldwide. Postpartum hemorrhage is the world’s leading cause of maternal mortality. In Indonesia, there were 8,600 maternal mortality cases in 2017, while the target to be achieved by 2025 is 74 per 100,000 live births. The aim of this study was to develop a mobile application as a learning medium on maternal emergencies. A research and development (R&D) study was conducted on 56 midwifery students, who were selected by total sampling. The KGD (KeGawatDaruratan) Maternal application was developed by using the ADDIE (analyze, design, develop, implement, evaluate) instruction model and was validated by two experts, namely, midwifery and media experts. The KGD Maternal application was assessed by midwifery students using structured questionnaires named the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) questionnaires, which covered perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU). The results of this study revealed that the KGD Maternal application was considered valid by the material expert and very valid by the media expert. As many as 69.6% of the midwifery students rated the KGD Maternal application as useful in the learning process on maternal and neonatal emergencies, and 73.2% rated it as easy to use. This study also revealed that the KGD Maternal application could provide greater opportunities for midwifery students to access, and facilitate and enable them to understand, materials about maternal emergencies. Based on the findings in this study, institutions of midwifery and nursing education should design and develop learning media that can provide a more optimal learning process. Furthermore, a higher extent of mobile application development is needed to provide better learning media. Increased knowledge and competency will clearly result in decreased maternal mortality.
